Entrance hall from 1971

Fehrbelliner Platz is a station of the Berlin U-Bahn located in the Wilmersdorf district on the Berlin U3.svg and the Berlin U7.svg lines.

The U3 section was opened on 12 October 1913 as one of the line's original stations, the U7 section on 29 January 1971 with the line's extension from Möckernbrücke. Though the station has then been widely rebuilt including the new entrance hall in a - disputed - 1970s "oil rig" style (the Bohrinsel), the U3 platform is preserved in its original condition. For more than seven years Fehrbelliner Platz was the western terminus of the U7, until its continuation toward Richard-Wagner-Platz on 28 April 1978. [1]

The eponymous square is named after Fehrbellin, where in 1675 the Battle of Fehrbellin between Brandenburg-Prussia and the Swedish Empire took place. Its horseshoe shape was laid out in 1934 and is surrounded by several administrative buildings of the Nazi era, including the former seat of the German Labour Front finished in 1943, today the Wilmersdorf town hall. On Berlin U3.svg , the next station is Heidelberger Platz (change here for S-Bahn) or Hohenzollernplatz. On Berlin U7.svg , the next station is Blissestraße or Konstanzer Straße.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of the Berlin U-Bahn</span> Aspect of history

The Berlin U-Bahn originated in 1880 with Werner Siemens' idea to build an urban railway in Berlin. During the nine years after the German Empire was founded, the city's population grew by over one-third and traffic problems increased. In 1896, Siemens & Halske began to construct the first stretch of overhead railway. On 1 April 1897, the company began construction of an electric underground railway. The Berliner Verkehrs Aktiengesellschaft (BVG) was formed in 1928, and took over further construction and operation of the network. In 1938, the company was renamed Berlin Transport Company; the original acronym, however, remained. Since 1994, the BVG has been a public company.
